Interns begin their journey at company's branches and at Kuwait News, Kuwait Times

KUWAIT: Students participating in the Zain Summer Program have started their journey at many of the company’s main branches, along with the headquarters of Kuwait News, a leading local media institution, and Kuwait Times, the first English daily in Kuwait. The fifth season of the program has recently kicked off to invest in aspiring young people’s skills during the summer season.

Following the registration phase, applicants were interviewed, and the final participants were selected based on their competencies and interests. Afterwards, Zain hosted a special orientation session at its Innovation Center (ZINC) in Shuwaikh, where program details and daily tasks were outlined. Students also toured Zain’s 107 Contact Center to gain insights into the company’s leading customer service processes.

Before starting their new roles, students attended a workshop titled ‘Steer Your Career,’ held in partnership with INJAZ Kuwait. This session focused on key career preparation topics, such as leadership in a changing environment, time management, communication, public speaking, and leveraging technology to enhance these skills. The workshop also covered verbal and written communication, business and creative writing, CV drafting, and job search strategies. Students learned about problem-solving, decision-making, and developing innovative solutions to overcome challenges.

Students began their internships at some of Zain’s largest branches across Kuwait, including Bibi Tower branch in Salmiya, the Warehouse Mall branch, Al Assima Mall branch, the Avenues Mall branch, Hawally branch, and Mishref branch. During their time at these branches, they will gain essential business skills in customer service, product marketing, sales of electronics and smart devices, promoting offers, as well as personal skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, and teamwork. Additionally, a group of students interning at Kuwait Times and Kuwait News will learn about media operations, including creating news reports, editorial pieces, content creation, and using cameras and audio equipment.

The fifth season of the Zain Summer Program continues the company’s mission to invest in young people’s capabilities by offering interactive internship experiences. The program aims to prepare graduates for the job market by developing a variety of skills. The previous four seasons have been highly successful, with many ambitious students participating. The program offers a paid part-time system with dedicated weekly work hours for one month. The Summer Program is part of Zain’s Future University Network (FUN) initiative, one of the company’s most engaging sustainable programs since its launch in 2008. Over the years, FUN has provided hundreds of students with paid part-time experiences at Zain, helping them launch their careers.
